Though normally used with earthen clay, I use these scrapers as cutting tools when I teach kids how to work with polymer clay, as an alternative to the ultra-sharp surgical blades we adults use with polymer clay. They are a safer and excellent alternative tool for kids, but of course do not allow the precision cuts needed by professional polymer clay artists.

We use ribs to form clay that is thrown on the wheel. Pin tools allow us to create contour lines and define clay shapes. Both of these tools are of the higher quality and I have never had any problems with Kemper tools breaking, snapping or tearing. Over time the ribs will have worn edges but should work well for many years.

i love it for lifting cuts from the provo cricut mat it lifts cuts without tearing .. it is thin and allow's you to get under the cuts regardless how small. so much better then the spatula made for this purpose.. i have given many to friends and they all love it... thanks so much for making it possible to get so fast and easy
